Lovely discussion (up and down thread) from and on a crucial sense in which it’s desirable that “books don’t work."

Whereas Aquinas might've been right, but he bores me (sorry Jen) so I don't find myself learning the truths he has to offer.
If I knew a book would "make me better" or "teach me something"--that sounds like a scary book--I want to learn, but I don't want books to do things to me.
